University of South Florida Board of Trustees Chair Will Weatherford and Vice Chair Mike Griffin have both been reappointed to new terms on the board.

Weatherford was reappointed by Gov. Ron DeSantis in a Nov. 14 announcement, while Griffin's reappointment was announced by the Florida Board of Governors during a Nov. 6 meeting. Both appointments are subject to confirmation by the Florida Senate.

"I am honored to continue in this role and grateful to Gov. DeSantis for reappointing me for another term," Weatherford said. "This is a great time to be part of Bulls Nation, and I know our best days are ahead as we pursue excellence in everything we do at USF."

Trustee appointments by the governor and the Board of Governors are for five years.

"I sincerely appreciate the Board of Governors for this reappointment and the opportunity to continue to serve our great university, the Tampa Bay region and the state of Florida," Griffin said. "I look forward to everything we will accomplish in the coming years."

Weatherford was first named to the Board of Trustees in 2021, and Griffin was first appointed in 2019. They have served as chair and vice chair since June 2021.
